UnWhOlesOme Milk.

1t is something like shock to our feel
ings to be warned that milk from Il COW
in ordinary health can be anything other
than symbol OF all that is pure and nu-
trllious-nnoceut as the babes tor whom
ii is perfect food. OF course it will alb
sorb foul odors if left to stand open in
filthy stables. And then we have heard
alarming stories of scarlet fever and diph
liberia carried in injected water drank by
the cow through her mammary glands
and conveyed IN the milk to human vic
TINS We have heard, too, OF COWS
afflicted with true consumption in whose
milk the specific bacteria which accompa-
nv this disease swim and swarm, and 1t Is
asserted that these germs of evil plant
themselves IN the blood of those who par
take of the mix. 1t Is distressing to
know that IN these ways diseased AMI
NAL, or careless treatment of pure mllH
might convert what should be perfect
food into dangerous poison. And now
the doctors have sounded another note OF
alarm Ii is asserted that "a COW which
has furnished by special course OF feeding
an excessive quantity OF milk beyond what
could be furnished naturally 10 the same
comparative time furnishes tlud which a
has an abnormal composition and which
can not be consumed by delicate stom-
achs. Has the time, then, arrived when
we must dlstrust the milk produced by
high feeding. and when grain ration
must be suspected as possible source OF
disease? 1t high feeding induces temper
arlly feverlsh condition, or any digestive
disturbance. this will undoubtedly intlu
ence IN some degree the quality of the
milk. NOXious and effete matters may
thus find escape from the intlamed organ,
of the COW into the milk reservoirs anC
thus contaminate in still another way thi:
life supporting fluid. There may be some
occasion for all this warning, and yet We
feel inclined to take our chances and keep
on drinking milk even when no opportun-
! ty is offered to have chemical analys
made OF each separate draught 1t may
be deadly drink. but after all it is safer
than some whiskey Philadelphia Press

Our Grand ArOOstOOk

1t will be readily called to mind that
only few years ago Western agricultural
products by the carload were shown at
our New England fairs, and our own State
show grounds were fairly carpeted with
the fictitious circulars of Western land
spectators. All this was wrong and The
HOME FARM long ago entered its solemn
warning against making our fairs adyer
Using emporiums for Western land and
railroad companies. But this has all
changed. Now we have our own Aroos-
took County exhibits at the New England
and State fairs. and excursions are tre-
quently sent into that county to give peo-
Pile an opportunity to become acquainted
with the great agricultural resources of
that county. These things have wrought
wonderful transformation in public SEN
tment in favor OF the East as an agricul-
tural section and we may say that the
praise of this change is due more than to
any one man, to Hon. Fred Atwood of
Winterport. Being Trustee of the New
England Society, he secured the action of
that society to encourage an Aroostook
exhibit; then followed the excursion OF
last summer, in the plan of which he was
ably assisted by Col. Tucker. manager of
the Maine Central. Next Mr.. (beg par
don. Colonel.) Atwood, planned and
successfully carried through the Aroos-
took meeting in Boston, last March, which
is already bearing the right fruit. In all
these plans Col. Atwood has shown good
management. an appreciation of our
great agricultural county, and public
spirit that is most praiseworthy. We

Residence Burned Near orlana.

The residence on the O'Hair brothers
ranch, four and one half miles north of Or
land, was destroyed by fire on the after
noon of the 9TH inst. Several parties were
visiting at the house at the time and were
recounting in the parlor the incidents that
had taken place during the twenty years
since they had last met, when suddenly an
alarm of fire brought all to the door. Lo-
Gated about twenty feet north of the main
building was small house used as Sleep
ing apartment by the Chinese servant.
When first seen a small fame appeared
beneath the roof of this building, and with
tubs of water close at hand, a vigorous
effort was made to stop its progress The
north wide was, however, blowing a per-
feet gale, and everything being as dry as
finder, the building was In moment a
solid flame. 1t being evident that the
dwelling must also go, all present at once
assisted to save all possible, but before a
second trip could be made into the b1ild-
ing, the residence had caught fire, and in a
moment the whole structure was seething
mass.
A few trifies, such as could be caught I'D
in rush in and out, were all that was
saved.
The fire did its work so swiftly that one
of the brothers remarked that had he been
away from home and returning found
nothing more saved, he would have thought
all present must have been crazy, from the
small amount rescued
The loss was several thousand dollars,
and included all the household goods,
wearing apparel, several hundred dollars
worth of diamonds and jewelry, over 5000
pounds of canned fruit and a ranch stock
of provisions lust laid in for the winter.
This is the second time that fire has devas-
tated the O'Hair brothers home since buy
ing the ranch. A total loss the first time
led to carrying an insurance, which will in
this instance cover about one-half the value
of the property destroyed.
